Archives New Zealand have an index listing for an >

 "Application for Assisted Passage" (to NZ)

in the name of

Mrs. Susan B. FERGUSON -- Years:   1908 - 1909
[The Ship's name "Athenic" was also given in the "more information" part of the listing. ]
---

In 1909 > arrival date looks to be 20 February  > the "Athenic" from London and Plymouth [via other ports ? - need to re-check this] arrived in NZ.

A passenger listed as >

" Mrs S. B. FERGUSON" was destined for Wellington. 

She appeared to be travelling alone ?   
[There are three other FERGUSON names on the (large) passenger list > a Miss L. - 24 / Miss E. - 22 / Miss M. 18 > but these girls were destined for Port Lyttelton in the South Island. ]

Have also checked for any possible New Zealand-born children to Susan and John B. FERGUSON.
[Online Birth index is searchable to "today's date" - 1916 ... there are though no listings for this couple. ]

... did notice whilst searching the NZ Birth Index (online), the following registration for a "still born child".

1919 - FERGUSON - N/R (Name not recorded)
Parents:   Lily Mary and Alexander FERGUSON

[Am not able to tell from other resources checked, whether the couple had further children.]

Hi Tim

Was about to give you burial info for John B. and Susan B. FERGUSON at Palmerston North, but I see it has now been added to the thread.  ;D

Please note though, the that the further cemetery records added here for the "Alexander FERGUSON and his wife Lily Hamilton FERGUSON" are not your Alexander .... nor was his wife named "Lily Hamilton".

Tim   ... a little extra info for John Beattie FERGUSON :

New Zealand Army, WW1 Reserve Rolls - 1916-1917

FERGUSON - John Beattie - Comm. Traveller - Bath Street, Palmerston North

Classification:   B

[Note:  Reservists were classified by the number of children they had.  "B" classifcation = one child.]

Not sure exactly when this reserve roll was drawn up ... and can't see a birth to John and Susan FERGUSON up to "today's date" 1916.   But seems there was a child ... probably born late 1916 ... or in 1917.  [Whether that child reached adulthood, is another matter ? ]
